Why New Hampshire for EB-5?

State-specific advantages for immigrant investors targeting New Hampshire.

1

No State Income Tax on Wages & No State Sales Tax

New Hampshire is one of only two US states with neither a state income tax on wages nor a state sales tax ('Live Free or Die'). For EB-5 investors planning US permanent residency, New Hampshire offers exceptional tax efficiency — no state tax on employment income, business income distributions, or retail purchases.

2

Boston Metro Overflow Market

New Hampshire — particularly Nashua, Manchester, and the southern tier — functions as a Boston metro overflow market. Many residents commute to Boston while living in NH for the no-income-tax advantage. This creates strong demand for multifamily residential and commercial real estate, providing EB-5 project opportunities at lower land costs than Boston.

3

Extensive Rural Northern NH TEA

Northern New Hampshire — the White Mountains, Great North Woods, and North Country — has extensive USCIS-eligible rural TEA coverage. Rural set-aside projects in northern NH access the 20% rural set-aside, enabling concurrent filing for Chinese and Indian investors.
